It’sclear that the laps have not yieldedan inch. I have
written
			       An—der[1]that I am prepared to make concessions (1) in regard to 7 (7 and not 6);
(2) 15%; (3) place of publication,ifwe agree on the rest, that
is (1) the Editorial Board of the C.O. co-opts both 6th and 7th (otherwise
an obvious swindle; without a majority here on the Editorial Board it is no
use starting); (2) new name for thecollection; (3) agreement for
I collection.

Whatis crossed out must stay out: neither 2 nor 3 are to be given the
right to decide on a discussion article by a contributor. I insist on this
emphatically.

Iwould ask A. to add a § on transport and so on.

Butapparently we won’t get anywhere with this kulak riffraff.

Salut,Lenin
